    Heard that sales are not good because people are just browsing and going to local Walmart to pick this item up.

    Haven't taken the time to look at Walmart affiliate program. Do they have XML feed like Amazon?

    Thanks! Probably need to take a look when I get time. I would assume not as much competition as with Amazon? At least might be good for a few $'s from AdSense?

    I do great with Walmart year round even better during the holidays. People don't mind spending a few bucks on shipping just to avoid the chaos of holiday shopping. I had a lot of Black Friday traffic last year and they were my #1 merchant. They had a lot of online only deals which worked out great.

    so why would anyone go for an 8.5% payout when there are lots of other programs that pay 20 - 50% ?

    "so why would anyone go for an 8.5% payout when there are lots of other programs that pay 20 - 50% ?"

    Why not. Those programs that pay 20-50% aren't selling what Walmart is selling. Depends on what you got going on. What type of site you have, what type of traffic you're getting etc.

    well you have a point, but why sell what walmart is selling, for 8% commission, when you can sell..say herbal products or prescription drugs for 30 - 50%? To each his own I guess..

    Walmart offers from 5 to 12% and I think they are willing to offer you more if you have decent sales.

    At least I have received an offer directly from one of the major company. They offered to raise my commision +3% if I could raise my traffic just a little.
